Smoothed Dissipative Particle Dynamics for Mesoscale Advection-Diffusion-Reaction Problems

Echeverría, M.; Moreno, N.; Ellero, M. (2025-10-01)

Smoothed dissipative particle dynamics (SDPD) is a widely used particle-based method for modeling soft matter systems at mesoscopic and macroscopic scales, offering thermodynamic consistency and direct control over the fluid...

How particular is the physics of the free energy principle?

Aguilera, M.; Millidge, B.; Tschantz, A.; Buckley, C.L. (2022-03-01)

The free energy principle (FEP) states that any dynamical system can be interpreted as performing Bayesian inference upon its surrounding environment. Although, in theory, the FEP applies to a wide variety of systems, there ...

From the free energy principle to a confederation of Bayesian mechanics: Reply to comments on “How particular is the physics of the free energy principle?”

Aguilera, M.; Millidge, B.; Tschantz, A.; Buckley, C.L. (2023-03-01)

Recurrent, nonequilibrium systems and the Markov blanket assumption

Aguilera, M.; Buckley, C.L. (2022-09-29)

Markov blankets - statistical independences between system and environment - have become popular to describe the boundaries of living systems under Bayesian views of cognition. The intuition behind Markov blankets originates...
